The Center for Problem-Oriented Policing (CPOP) is an American research center and nonprofit organization dedicated to studying and advancing problem-oriented policing.
It was established in 1999 at the University at Albany, with funding from the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.[1] The center currently operates out of the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University.[2]
The organization consists of police practitioners, universities, and scholars studying modern policing methods. It acts as a major clearinghouse for law enforcement strategies, producing "Problem-Specific Guides" utilized by institutions such as the RAND Corporation and the National Institute of Justice.[3] The center also administers the annual Herman Goldstein Award for Excellence in Problem-Oriented Policing.[2]
